Question 5

Mya is a programmer on the new inventory tracking system.She looks in the development library for a module that she needs to modify and changes a couple of lines in that module.BUT … at the same time Steve was also working on that module - getting it from the library before Mya did - and putting it back in the library after Mya made her changes and saved it.One common solution to this problem might be:

B) To have all developers (including Mya and Steve)e-mail all other developers as they make changes to a module

D) Have all developers call the Project Manager with any and all changes
